Information You Provide
Search-tool entries
A name or location entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. This site does not retain or log those submitted search terms on its own systems. The provider's privacy terms govern the query after it is sent.
Messages to the site
If you send a message or email, we may keep the contact details and message contents needed to respond or maintain a communication record. We do not disclose messages outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal order.

External Websites
This guide links to Lapeer County Sheriff and Corrections pages, county FOIA materials, Michigan courts, Michigan OTIS, and other source pages. Once you leave this site, the destination's privacy notice and data practices apply. For example, a formal request to an official Lapeer County office is handled under that office's procedures, not under this notice.
Where an advertising provider serves content, that provider may measure activity across websites using its own technology. Those activities occur under the provider's policies and systems.
